The Russian nationalists called on Sunday so that President Vladimir Putin makes immediate changes to guarantee the maximum victory in the Ukraine War, a day after Moscow was forced to abandon his main bastion in the northeast of Ukraine. The rapid fall of Izium in the province of Jharkiv was Russia’s worst military defeat, since his troops were forced to return from the Ukrainian capital Kyiv in March. When the Russian forces left the city after the city on Saturday, Putin was opening the largest fortune wheel in Europe in a Moscow park, while the fireworks illuminated the sky over the red square to celebrate the foundation of the city In 1147.
In an 11 -minute voice message published in the Telegram courier application, the Cheheno Ramzan Kadyrov leader, an ally of Putin whose troops have been at the forefront of the campaign in Ukraine, dismissed the loss of Izium, a center of critical supply. But he admitted that the campaign was not going to plan. “If the changes today or tomorrow are not carried out in the behavior of the special military operation, I will be forced to go to the country’s leadership to explain the situation on the ground,” Kadyrov said.
The almost total silence of Moscow about the defeat, or any explanation of what had taken place in the northeast of Ukraine, caused a significant anger among some pro -war and Russian nationalists on social networks. As the defeats developed, the Russian Ministry of Defense published images of what the troops are sent to the Kharkiv region. On Sunday, the Ministry of Defense said the Russian forces had reached the Ukrainian positions in the region with troops, missiles and artillery in the air.
Moscow is silent
Neither Putin, who is the Supreme Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of Russia, nor Defense Minister Sergei Shouigo had publicly commented on the defeat at noon on Sunday. “We are proud in Moscow and we love this city with its majestic antiquity and its modern and dynamic rhythm of life, the charm of its cozy parks, lanes and streets and abundance of commercial and cultural events,” Putin told Muscovites, according to a transcription of the Kremlin of your congratulatory message.
Putin, who described his surprise when he counted as a spy of the KGB in East Germany that “Moscow is silent” when the Berlin wall collapsed, said that those who had fallen into the operation of Ukraine had given their lives by Russia. The Ministry of Defense did not respond to a request for comments. “They are taking urine,” wrote a prominent pro-war military blogger in Telegram, which he publishes under the name of Rybar.
“Now it’s not the time to shut up and not say anything … This seriously hurts.” On Saturday, the Ministry announced a “regrouping” that would take Kharkiv troops to concentrate in the Donetsk region in East Ukraine, a statement that generated more anger from many Russian military bloggers. Some of the Pro-Kremlin war correspondents and the previous and current military who have accumulated great followers in Telegram accused the minimization of minimizing defeat.
OVERCOME?
Igor Gironin, a nationalist militant and former FSB officer who helped launch a 2014 war in the eastern region of Donbas de Ukray in the Russian war -Japanese that triggered the 1905 revolution of Russia. Ukraine has acclaimed his rapid advance, which saw thousands of Russian soldiers flee, leaving behind reserves and ammunition equipment, as a turning point in the 6 -month war. Gironin, who has not been more similar to his criticism to the country’s main brasss, calling Defense Minister Shoigu “The Cardboard Marshal”, has repeatedly said that Russia will be defeated in Ukraine if he does not declare a national mobilization. Nationalist anger due to military failure is potentially a much greater problem for Kremlin than Putin’s pro-western liberal criticism: opinion surveys continue to show broad support to what Moscow calls the “special military operation.”
